Melatonin shows potential for vertigoMelatonin Exerts Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant, and Neuromodulatory Effects That Could Potentially Be Useful in the Treatment of Vertigo.
We explored how melatonin might help with vertigo, especially during its acute phase, where various neurotransmitters and inflammatory responses are involved. Melatonin receptors are found along the vestibular pathways in our bodies, suggesting it could play a significant role in alleviating symptoms of this condition.
Our findings highlight that melatonin acts as a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, targeting factors linked to vertigo, like certain proteins and inflammatory markers. Furthermore, it appears to work by enhancing GABA activity, blocking dopamine, and even assisting with migraine symptoms, which complements the conventional treatments used during vestibular crises.
Overall, we consider melatonin's multifaceted effects promising for those suffering from acute vertigo, though further research could provide a clearer understanding of its full potential.
